for_o the_o same_o reason_n whatsoever_o be_v former_o by_o some_o imagine_a we_o know_v that_o the_o east_n be_v name_v so_o from_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o we_o know_v the_o sun_n have_v

they_o praye●_n so_o but_o both_o way_n he_o make_v use_n of_o it_o for_o his_o own_o posture_n although_o we_o may_v both_o way_n as_o probable_o thus_o reto●●●_n to_o the_o contrary_a if_o the_o

all_o place_n of_o the_o world_n either_o in_o building_n or_o in_o pray_v eastward_o since_o it_o be_v most_o apparent_a that_o private_a dwelling_n and_o pagan_a temple_n and_o jewish_a synagogue_n be_v at_o first_o convert_v into_o church_n and_o some_o new_a erection_n be_v not_o contrive_v in_o this_o eastern_a posture_n for_o his_o second_o proof_n the_o doctor_n say_v that_o ancient_o

the_o same_o division_n still_o yet_o see_v withal_o that_o betwixt_o the_o bishop_n throne_n and_o the_o altar_n wall_n there_o be_v a_o great_a distance_n so_o that_o the_o altar_n be_v not_o necessary_o drive_v close_o to_o the_o wall_n the_o doctor_n last_o and_o main_a proof_n be_v from_o the_o custom_n of_o papist_n who_o since_o they_o retain_v the_o old_a fashion_n of_o their_o building_n be_v not_o likely_a to_o innovate_v in_o the_o fashion_n of_o their_o altar_n this_o proof_n be_v no_o stranger_n for_o altar_n posture_n then_o for_o the_o multitude_n of_o pillar-altar_n chappell-altar_n and_o requiem-altar_n and_o for_o a_o thousand_o other_o superstition_n and_o yet_o we_o answer_v more_o over_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a for_o the_o papist_n to_o alter_v in_o the_o fashion_n of_o church_n as_o altar_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o very_a non-concludent_a argument_n i_o have_v now_o answer_v doctor_n heylin_n and_o i_o may_v proceed_v to_o
